Proceeding contribution from Peter Luff (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Digital Economy Bill [Lords].


Digital Economy Bill [Lords]

I cannot resist the pun: another of the ducked decisions is on ducts. Is my hon. Friend aware that access to ducts other than BT's—for example, waterways and sewers—is currently outside Ofcom's powers? Its response tells us that""regulatory intervention in relation to infrastructure beyond the telecommunications sector would be a matter for the Government."" The Bill should be explicit about that, to achieve the investment in broadband that we want.
